Drupal Restaurant Reservation - how to Install? -
i'm new web dev drupal.
i've made simple site using drupal commerce , ubercart modules food order , delivery functions.
i wanted include option reserve tables, , drupal's open restaurant seemed straight forward way go.
now know open restaurant distribution , cannot installed simple modules. however, want reservation option. how go installing relevant parts on existing site?
my drupal , module details follows:
- drupal : 7.34
- commerce : 7.x-1.11
- ubercart - core modules : 7.x-3.8
if suggest simple table reservation system, great too.
the open restaurant distribution assumed installed "package". not via pick-the-modules-that-you-need approach, though in theory (but requires quite bit of drupal experience). therefor recommend have @ various "reservation" related drupal extensions available today, further detailed below.

booking systems comparison
refer comparison of booking system modules comparison of various modules related bookings / reservations.
this comparison contains other modules (not mentioned in answer here) might worth considering also, e.g. in case of requirements different (as compare in question here).
my recommended shortlist
i'd consider list of modules mentioned in modules stable d7 release shortlist further evaluation, i.e:
- availability calendars (reported installs: 2.061 sites).
- rooms (reported installs: 1.575 sites).
- merci (reported installs: 441 sites).
- resource conflict (reported installs: 329 sites).
- simple reservation (reported installs: 202 sites).
- room reservations (reported installs: 156 sites).
remark: rooms module seems overkill answer question "https://drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/167792/recommended-modules-to-make-a-booking-of-a-few-hours-without-pricing-features".
these modules appear have sufficient features need, , have stable (not alfa or beta only) release.
how pick module fits best
i've ordered recommended shortlist above number of reported installs. though first indicator, should not used criterium pick module.
so homework pick right 1 you. e.g. using criteria such use selecting module, mentioned in community documentation maintenance scorecards.
here intro (from page):
... contains list of 23 criteria (=28-5) might evaluate maintenance , support of contributed modules. below attempt apply criteria each of native charting modules ...
obvious, these scorecards related "charting modules", same criteria applicable, imho, wheneven need decide between multiple modules.
also note i've ordered shortlist above number of reported installs. though first indicator, should not used criterium pick module. homework pick right 1 you.
disclosure: i'm author of community documentation page (partially inspired 28 criteria in issue linked near beginning of scorecards paragraph),
hope not violate site's policy on self-promotion.
